 to their family members. In
this
 essay, I will identify the reasons and the effects on their
families
 and individuals. As for reasons, why people tend to spend less
time
 with their
families
.The first one that comes to my mind is that some workers have to endeavour
due to
 the intense competition in modern society. They may separate from their relatives because of
work
 pressure from their superiors.
For example
, the employees in the oil industry usually
work
 on the ocean where oil extraction platforms are located. They have to compete with domestic and foreign competitors. Their hard effort contributes to achieving international companies’ target margins. Another reason is that individuals sometimes indulge themselves in new entertainment,
such
 as online chatting and video games, resulting in a significant reduction in quality
time
 with their
families
.
Consequently
, those who are separated from their family members may suffer mental problems, resulting from the lack of support from
families
. For their husbands or wives, they may be divorced
due to
 separation for a long
time
.
On the other hand
, their children probably become addicted to some online content because of a lack of companionship. They will have a bad quality

 with their jobs. In conclusion, we should strike a balance between
work
 and life. The most important reason behind the phenomenon is the requirement of hard

 and being obsessed with the new entertainment. It is bad for those who spend less

 and their family members.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
